The PA_Nursing_Homes layer contains the latitude and longitude coordinates of 702 nursing homes in Pennsylvania. When possible, efforts were made to confirm the rooftop location of each nursing home. The accuracy of geocoding is available in Geocoding Certainty attribute field (Geocoding Certainty: Rooftop="00", Street="01", Zip Centroid="04", Not geocoded="99"). Latitude and longitude are recorded in the WGS 1984 coordinate system in decimal degrees. The attribute data were obtained from an annual nursing home survey and include approximately 19 fields such as survey ID numbers, longitude, latitude, facility name, street address, etc. Additional fields and data items could be potentially linked to this layer.
